Both in the Catholic and Episcopal ceremonies of marriage, the central and essential action is the giving of the ring, or exchange of rings, together with the words, “With this ring, I thee wed, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, Amen” (wording from the Book of Common Prayer, but essentially the same as the Catholic rite).
The writer of this article evidently didn’t think to mention whether or not THOSE words are used in this new “marriage” service.
Baptized and confirmed an Episcopalian, but the Episcopal Church left me, and I have broken ties. Now consider myself a conservative, Bible-believing Anglican.
A Church of God that is in touch with the Bible cannot approve of same sex marriage: Therefore Etc.Etc.
They are not a Church any more than Scientologists are.
Sadly, the decline continues.

I wonder...
